Wanting to be the story

When did the desire to report the news stop with the MSM, and the desire to BE the news begin?

I am so sick and tired of reporters doing stories about OTHER REPORTERS. The national media is increasingly myopic, focused on their own scatter brained conspiracies, and their own darlings.

If my every newscast was like one of the major networks it would be something like this:

Me: Good Morning, I'm David Shideler in the News Center... Yesterday David Shideler worked until 7pm, and then went home and played the Godfather video game until he went to bed. David... how did it feel to spend your whole day reporting the news, and have no social life...

Also Me: Well David, its a real tragedy... a young man, in the prime of his life, reduced to a working drone.

Me: A real shame David.. We hope that improves... We know go to reowned pseudo-psychologist David with analysis... David?"

Me Too: Well David, in cases like this, what you find is the classic work-a-holic syndrome, where young reporters dive into their work, to compenstate for a lack of a social safety network.

Me: What should young budding reporters do in a situation like that
David?

Me Too: Well, clearly they need to utilize whatever methods of social activity they can find, but doing other enjoyable activites which can be done in a short period of time, for instance, blogging online... which can be done during break times, that will give young reporters some outlets before being
burned out.

Me: Fascinating David, thank you.

STOP TRYING TO BE THE NEWS, Or CREATE THE NEWS, and Just Report It!
